  3D Sparks that follow a mask

  Posted by Tony Segreto on July 29, 2008 at 3:35 am

  Hey guys, I’d like to create the effect of following text that has been revealed using the mask>stroke effect, but I want it to look like it is being forged in metal by using Particular (or any particle system) to follow the mask in 3D space. I figured I could do this by just keyframing the X and Y values for the particle layer but that won’t work because the particle layer isn’t on the same plane as the text and for some reason I can’t line them up. Is there some sort of work around or easier way?

  Please help!

  Thank you,
  Tony
